Hmmm... big bucks? No one told me about big bucks! I almost feel cheated...

Topic is in the right forum, subject has evolved logically without any left field hijacks, my vote is to leave it.

....... I believe the larger fuse would be less resistance compared to the two smaller fuses ........

The resistance should be tied to the breaking (melting) point of the fuse and if 60A equals Y, then two 30A should also equal the same Y.

Assuming they are snap in fuses, the extra connections might cause more resistance, but production tolerances in their manufacture would probably cause more variance than the connections.

I would use the larger single, unless I already had the two smaller ones on hand. The difference is not worth a trip to the store.

The reason I have 2 fuses in paralell and not one large fuse is simple. The surpluss supply store I was in while picking up welding cable and everything else I used for my install had 2 fuse holders & a pack of fuses for $0.39. Seemed too convinient at the time.
